The ISC Handlers directed me to the following ethereal news article 
regarding a "Domain Hiccup - Friday, May 5, 2006"

  http://www.ethereal.com/news/item_20060505_01.html

Of course I didn't see this article it when I couldn't resolve 
*ethereal.com domains. ;-)  

I had checked the MARC archives hoping for some type of 
announcment/report but again I didn't see anything other than
Oliver's first message.

Even as late as 05:00 UTC Sunday, May 7 2006 my ISP (and 
likely others) was still returning the IP address for the Network 
Solution's site 205.178.189.128 (resalehost.networksolutions.com)

The good news is that as of 14:00 UTC (Sunday) my ISP now has 
it right and all of the *.ethereal.com domains resolve correctly.  

Given the hiccup announcement I understand why my ISP might 
have cached some bad answers.  But these cached "bad" answers 
seemed to have persisted longer then I would have expected!

Thanks for the info.

Jim Y.
